“I cannot say enough amazing things about this Miracle worker and healer - Michael Julien. I came to him with years of tremendous pain in my neck and back. After a consistent series of treatment, my pain is gone! If you are at the end of your rope with pain...call him. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient and kind professional. You will not regret it!”

“Michael is amazing at what he does and how he can read the human body. I have had chronic back pain for years. I have been to multiple chiropractors who have done wonders in my neck, but still had the back pain return. I decided to try Acupuncture. The first time I saw Michael he figured out my back was not the problem, it was my hips. In a few weeks he was able to straighten out my hips and now, no back problems for weeks! I have never felt so good and strong. I am now going to see the personal trainer he recommended to help me make sure I am working out properly to ensure I do not get hurt working out.”

Our Powerful Combination of Therapies Includes

Sports Medicine Acupuncture® and Classical Acupuncture

Acupuncture is one of the most powerful ways to naturally stimulate your body’s innate healing process. It gets right to work repairing and restoring all cells and tissues. We integrate two styles of acupuncture to employ the best of contemporary and ancient healing methods boosting your body’s natural healing capabilities to reduce, pain and inflammation and optimize muscle and nerve function.

Targeted Massage Techniques

This is not spa type massage. Rather it is strategic healing therapy designed to restore full functionality and reduce pain in the targeted area. We may incorporate any combination of the following Myofascial Release, Tui Na, Soft Tissue Release, and PNF (assisted stretching). We have studied, delivered and taught these techniques extensively. Your practitioner chooses the most effective combination for your treatment plan to further the healing process.

Strategic Exercise Therapy

We’ll guide you in the process of furthering your own healing through therapeutic exercise instruction to correct range of motion, posture and muscle function issues. These simple but powerful exercises restore neuromuscular function and reduce pain for a new level of everyday vitality and performance. This helps you heal up now and empowers you to avoid further injury and dysfunction in the future. This means less degeneration, less pain, better performance and more happiness!

Herbal Supplementation & Nutrition

Herbs simultaneously cure AND strengthen the body. This dual action is something unique to herbal medicine which makes it very well suited to treat chronic pain conditions. Herbal formulas are prescribed for you and your specific issues. Our herbal formulas are not used as a “one pill fits all” solution. These are powerful formulas designed especially for your body and the issues we want to heal.

The Process is Simple

Free Initial Consultation

At your free initial consultation you’ll meet with your clinician to discuss your case, your medical history, any medications you’re taking, and most importantly YOUR GOALS. We want to be certain that our program is going to meet your needs and that there is a HIGH probability of success for you – BEFORE we move forward to the next step.

Detailed Assessment & Treatment Plan

Once your free consultation is complete, and we agree to move forward, your next step is the Intake appointment. At this appointment, your clinician will do a detailed assessment of your symptom pattern, medical history, and other factors to determine the root cause of your issue and devise a specific plan of attack.
Your first acupuncture session will be performed at this time, and a you will be given a treatment plan with exact, easy-to-follow instructions. Your treatment plan will include therapeutic exercise, dietary and lifestyle adjustments as well as key supplements and herbal medicines to address the root of YOUR pain issue.

Active Treatment & Symptom Resolution

You’ll return for once-weekly visits to ensure close support as you begin to feel the positive shifts of the therapy. We want to make sure your treatment plan is yielding the expected results:
Reduced Pain
More mobility
Better sleep
Feeling vital and strong again
Able to re-engage in favorite activities

Transitional Care as Things Stabilize

Once we see stable improvements, we will begin to reduce the frequency of visits. This usually occurs after about 6-12 visits. Initially you’ll come every other week, then once a month for a couple of visits, then you will no longer need regular treatments.
We’ll be here in case you ever want to come in for a tune-up or to address other health concerns.
Of course, MANY of our patients do wish to continue with “ongoing maintenance” and we are happy to work that out with you, should that be your wish.

Taking Care of Your Friends and Loved Ones

We pride ourselves on the fact that 80% of our new patients are referred to us by other patients or people in the community who have witnessed their friends and loved ones receive life-changing benefits from our work.
So, we very much look forward to helping YOUR friends, family, and loved ones on THEIR journey to a more active, energetic and empowered life.

Does it hurt?

No. You may feel a mild, dull or pleasant tingling sensation at the site of some needles or nothing at all. We always ensure that the patient is comfortable during their treatment.

Will I have to keep coming forever?

The vast majority of patients don’t need long-term maintenance. Once their condition is resolved, it stays that way.

Will I have to spend a lot of time coming in for treatments?

Most of our patients are able to get great results with once-weekly visits. We can discuss this in more detail at your free consultation. Each appointment takes about an hour.

Can natural medicine REALLY help my pain?

Absolutely. Your body as a whole – is capable of healing itself, especially when it has the specialized natural therapies and exercises and nutritional support we offer to help it get back on track. We’ve seen this firsthand in clinic over and over.

Do you take insurance?

We accept PPO insurance plans that cover acupuncture services including Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, United Healthcare, Cigna and Aetna. We are happy to bill insurance for you.

What are my chances of success?

Results vary, of course. That being said, over 70% of our patients report reduction in frequency and severity of their pain and most have total recovery. However, your situation is unique and once we meet with you we will be able to give you our best estimate of time and prognosis of outcome.
